Aston Villa threw away a two goal lead to let Everton get a 3-3 draw at Goodison Park , they had been leadiing 3-1 until Fellaini headed Everton level in the 93rd minute to deny Paul Lambert a much needed win , Villa remain second from bottom .

West Ham welcomed back Andy Carrol from injury and he proved to be the difference as he scored the only goal of the game to beat Swansea at Upton Park , the match could have gone either way and i think manager Sam Allardyce said it all after the game ..."It's a massive relief." .

Villa have shown signs of life lately, but lets remember they couldn't close out their last game when they were ahead and only had to stay disciplined and focused to grab three points. West Ham are a better team and should win, sometimes I think 11 blokes picked at random from the crowd would give the Villans a game. Villa 1 West Ham 3, and Lambo will be talking about "fighting" AGAIN in the post match interview.

couldnt make it to catch the last minutes of the game. well, one point is also okay. although i agree with the commentator who put it well saying the hammers will surely stay for the next season but he cant understand how they have collected that amount of points with that kind of display it's not the acurate line of his words, but that he was trying to say.

Well, only saw bits and pieces of the game in the second half and then Ireland v England in the 6 Nations became the priority. West Ham had chances then but failed to convert them, lets be honest clinical strikers are like rocking horse sh*t, pretty hard to come by. From what I saw, not a great game but well done to Villa for picking up 3 points that gets them out of the poo for now. I'm thinking the Hammers will stay up, though Sam needs to address the away form of his team.
Interesting question, do you stick with a manager when your team is dropping down the league, or do you 'hold your bottle' and back him? You could ask the same question to the Villans and the Hammers fans. Fergie is the classic example of a man who stunk for three seasons, and then went on to become, as far as I'm concerned, the greatest British club manager of all time (yep, that includes Shankley and Clough). On the other hand, you have the likes of Chelsea who employ a 'revolving door' strategy to managers, and yet pick up trophies that I'd give up my right arm to see my club win. Probably been debated already elsewhere on the forum? Maybe I'll start a thread elsewhere.
Meanwhile, well done England in beating Ireland in their own back yard!

it doesnt matter what kind of door has a building as long as it's made of ivory and covered with gold give us those players and big sam would turn west ham into a club of that calibre right off the bat.

it doesnt matter if we got a point from this game or not. a draw for us would mean nothing. our bag has been filled up purely from victories, mostly home victories, which are the main reason we have so many points. other clubs may well have been showing a lot better display yet they have been drawing each other and now sit lower than us
